Preview:

Punjab Kings will take on Gujarat Titans in the 16th match of the Indian T20 League 2022 on Friday. Punjab Kings are doing an exceptional job under the leadership of Mayank Agarwal. They outplayed defending champions Chennai Super Kings in their previous game by 54 runs. It’s going to be a bit of a selection headache for the management as England wicket-keeper batter Jonny Bairstow has joined the squad and he might don the gloves behind the stumps. It will be interesting who will make way for him.

In their inaugural season, Gujarat Titans are looking formidable at the moment with back-to-back wins over Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals. With the kind of talent they have at their disposal they can beat any side on the given day. Shubman Gill has returned to form with a bang which is a piece of good news for the skipper Hardik Pandya. They look forward to maintaining their unbeaten streak.
